Heidi Smith and B and B's Bulldozer - Award Winners!

Congratulations to CHSA member Heidi Smith and her horse B and B's Bulldozer.

'Dozer' just won Pinto Horse Association Horse of the Year for Breeding Stock Hunter Under Saddle for 2007.

Of the top ten horses in the nation for his division, he was number ONE! As you all know 'Dozer' had a very successful year with CHSA, being a triple champion - winning  the Color Breed Pleasure,  Hunter Pleasure and Adult English Pleasure Year-End Awards. The only thing they missed was participating in CHSA Finals.  They qualified for Finals in both the Adult English Pleasure and Hunter Pleasure divisions, but were unable to attend due to 'Dozer's' sudden onset of allergies.
